Use Conflicts against dpkg:amd64, maybe. :( I have been looking at this issue a bit more in details. libc biarch packages have never been designed with multiarch in mind, and thus they are not tagged as multiarch packages (implicit Multi-arch: none). However since multiarch, as the Multi-arch: field only concerns dependencies, and that such packages do not have Depends: beside the libc6 one, they are suddenly installable as foreign packages. That's why we suddenly have for example conflicts issue between libc6-dev-i386 and libc6-dev-mips64 (#702962) or libc6-dev-i386 and libc6-dev-mips64 (#702962), or why people are allowed to install libc6-amd64 on their amd64 system. I therefore wonder if we can add a new value for the Multi-arch: field like forbidden, to prevent a foreign package to be installed on a system. Otherwise it looks like we'll have to go with a long list of Conflicts... Alternatively, we can create an empty package called for example multiarch-no-foreign, which is arch:any and Multi-arch: none. That way all packages which should not be installed as foreign architecture can depend on this one. What do you think? Well it won't work, because installing libc6-amd64:i386 will pull multiarch-no-foreign:i386, and thus the whole set will be installable. We definitely do want to forbid things like installing gdb64:i386 or strace64:i386 on an amd64 system, or more horrible things like trying to install libc6-dev-x32:am64 on an i386 system. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#748215: gettext(3) should special case both C and C.UTF-8 wrt LANGUAGE lookup

It is, at least, for me. I am for special-casing C.UTF-8 as it's aimed to serve the same purpose as C, but with a richer characterset. Otherwise, hunting down every single case of LC_ALL and adding LANGUAGE to it, is just a lot of unnecessary (albeit pedantically correct) work. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
